"I still look at him as this is the boy that I met, in high school, when he was pulling all the jokes, and really just being crazy. Pretty crazy. So there's a wild and crazy man inside of him ... just waiting to come out."

One look into his eyes does give away the terrible truth of her claim - the man is mad as a hatter. To be fair, by the standards of we common folk, most rich people are so - it is a rather predictable symptom of overweening power.

If I'm shown as having been active here recently it's either because I've been using the gallery, because I've been using the search engine looking up something from way back, or because I've been reading the most excellent UK by-elections thread again.

Actually no, I don't consider that a 'justification' at all (nor am I the sort who considers justification important). The reason for removing the noggin of the aristo is what he did to you (and will continue to do to you for all your days), not what is 'right' or 'wrong' or 'unjust'.
